Last Tuesday, seemingly out of nowhere, a huge lump of cement hurtling
from the sky crashed through a suburban Moscow home, creating a large
hole. But what was the cause? Why, it was the Russian Air force
attempting to change the weather of course!

Yes, the relatively common practice of cloud seeding ended in an
unfortunate yet hilarious example of how sometimes we shouldn’t mess
with the weather. The Russians have been using cloud seeding as a way
to prevent rainy weather during important national holidays. On June
12th, the Russian Air Force sent up 12 planes carrying silver iodide,
liquid nitrogen and cement powder to seed clouds above Moscow and empty
the skies of moisture.
